Call for Papers. The Winter 2007 issue of _Biography_ will be a specialissue on the relation between science fiction and the theory and practice oflife writing. Guest editor John Rieder invites essays on the ways sciencefiction explores the recording of lives, including its estrangement andproblematization of the construction of identities, issues of memory andidentity, the integrity or fragmentation of personal identity, the socialconstruction of personhood, and related topics; or papers that explore theauto/biographical elements of science fiction, such as the relation ofscience fiction to travel writing, captivity narratives, autobiographicalethnographic accounts, or case histories. These lists of topics are meant tobe suggestive, not exclusive.
